WINDOWS SMASHED
SHOP OF REFUGEE
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 23. On arriving this morning to open his fruit and confectionery shop on the Great South Road, at Papakura, Edward Rothschild, a recently-arrived German-Jew refugee, found all the windows broken, one large one facing the Great South Road and two slightly smaller ones in Averill Street. It is understood that the windows were smashed about 1.10 a.m., as a nearby resident heard a loud crash like falling glass about that time. A piece of iron about 3ft 6in long, and Jin thick, picked up by the police, is supposed to have been used to do the damage. The proprietor bought the business about four months ago. Goods in the windows were not damaged to any extent, and nothing, as far as is known, is missing.
